    This guide is based on a discovery by Vash8806,I take no credit for it,I'm just posting this for people who might not have read the comments on the other guide for this achievement.

    Ok so to get these throws to actually count you need to be using throw at a short range to your target,about 3-5 feet away.Attempts from longer distances don't seem to count for some reason. To recap and clarify: Unlock the 'Pull' & 'Throw' abilities in Biotics,use 'Pull' but keep the button held in so it pulls the enemy to you,then line up a target at 'POINT BLANK RANGE' (the closer the better) & the use 'Throw' to take out your target.Shielded enemies can't be 'pulled' or 'thrown' so only do this on enemies with just a red health bar.If you hit 2 enemies in the same throw it will count for 2.This is still not foolproof,the odd attempt will not count but if it doesn't then you probably weren't close enough.

    I hope this clarifies things for people & once again,all credit goes to Vash8806 for making this discovery through trial & error.

    Gilbert PrimeThis popped after my first throw. I'm certain it was because I had just unlocked Throw.

    DenverMax27Thank heavens for this tip!! I was getting so frustrated about this not working at all, but I was doing everything at a distance and as soon as I started running up for the point-blank throw it worked. I also seem to have gotten the explosive canister positive glitch - went from about 60% to unlocked after a throw where a canister had gotten roped into my pull.

    Solution is simple. Make sure you have the biotic powers "Pull" and "Throw". When an enemy has only the red health bar left, press and hold your "Pull" button. This will pull the enemy up to you. When you have a clear sight of another enemy, hit the "Throw" button. This will throw the enemy you have at the enemy you are pointing at. As long as they collide, it will count. Rise and repeat 24 more times and BLEEP BLOOP.

    Tip from Vash8806 for those of you were this is not tracking: "pull an enemy (holding the button, of course), get right up in your target's face, then use throw."

    It seems as though this isnt getting tracked by people using this strategy from a distance. Just grab your guy. Bring him to his friend. Make them kiss.
